Thu, Mar 18 03:04 PM For foreign universities, which haven`t yet recovered fully from the aftershocks of the worldwide recession, India presents, to quote a word re-introduced into the English vocabulary by Tim Burton`s Alice in Wonderland , a `frabjous` opportunity. More than 100,000 students leave Indian shores annually to study at universities abroad. Their presence has made foreign universities wake up to the incontrovertible fact that there`s another `creamy layer` below these students abroad whose families are prepared to pay upwards of Rs 2.5 lakh a year for quality education. Profs debate Foreign Univ Bill What foreign universities Bill can`t do International students are the economic mainstay of foreign universities, but these institutions are not in a position to meet the demand for the education they provide on their own campuses back home. This untapped market makes the business of overseas campuses that much more lucrative. For over a decade, foreign universities have been lobbying hard for the passage of the Foreign Education Providers Bill, which has been a pet project of HRD minister Kapil Sibal. The most recent of these exploratory visits was that of Robert A. Brown, president of Boston University, who was in the Capital in January to plan collaborations with leading universities here. He said there was an insatiable appetite for quality education in India and collaborations would mutually benefit both countries. US`s Georgia Institute of Technology announced its plan to set up campuses in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam as soon as the Bill gets Parliament nod. Central Michigan University, meanwhile, has taken another route to plant its flag in India. It has been offering a collaborative MBA programme with the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, for the past five years. Experts associated with these universities explain the economic logic of their plans for India: the proliferation of private institutions in the country-especially in engineering, medicine, management and law - that charged fees upwards of Rs 2.5 lakh a year was evidence of the vast market waiting to be tapped. These institutions attract the second layer of the country`s higher education market. These are students whose families can`t afford foreign education (upwards of Rs 15 lakh a year), but want to be in the top four favourite streams. India, according the now-defunct National Knowledge Commission, needs 1,500 universities, compared with about 350 now, to raise the enrollment numbers from 7 per cent of the population aged 18-25 to developed country averages. But even before the Bill got the cabinet`s nod, Indian universities had initiated the process of collaborating with their international peers to offer degrees or diplomas. A National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NEPA) report in 2008 pegged the number of these institutions at more than 130. For Bangalore University vice- chancellor A. N. Prabhu Deva, collaboration is the way forward. "It will help a higher education institution rise to the standards of its foreign partner," he says. But for this collaboration to become meaningful, says R. Govinda, NEPA V-C, teaching must go hand in hand with research. "Only then will quality education and foreign collaborations be meaningful," he says. Either way, for foreign universities, this is a winwin situation. Narayanan Ramaswamy, executive director of the management consultancy KPMG, points to the "massive demand supply gap" driving the international higher education market. Reproduced From Mail Today.

Washington, Feb 04 (ANI): Asthma patients using herbal remedies may make their quality of life worse and suffer from increased frequency of symptoms, a new study claims. A study conducted by American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology observed 326 asthma patients over a 33-month period. Of those, 25 percent reported herbal remedy use and lower adherence to use of prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). It was learnt that patients using herbal remedies were more likely to have been hospitalized or intubated for asthma. Also, they had concerns about possible adverse effects of ICS and difficulty following a medication schedule. Angkana Roy, M.D., lead author, Department of Pediatrics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, said: "Results indicate patients using herbal remedies are less likely to take their prescribed medications. "These patients report worse asthma control and poorer quality of life than patients who follow medication plans. Underuse of prescribed medication is one of the main factors contributing to poor outcomes in asthma patients." Also, Leonard Bielory, M.D., ACAAI Integrative Medicine Committee chair, added: "Patients interested in herbal remedies need to use them to complement treatment and not as an alternative, or they will not maximize their health and may actually hinder it as this study shows. "Remember, asthma is a serious disease and needs to be treated that way. Always ask your allergist about medication concerns and discuss use of herbal remedies." The study has been published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal of ACAAI. (ANI) ...

I think that Satyam is a buy at these rates. Between 2nd March 2010 and today, I have added 455 shares of Satyam to my holdings....

why not disclose here itself the good news
...

Hi Mylo! thanks for the info. So TCI Finance holds about 8 percent in Gati Infra. So how does one value Gati Infra?


HOPE THAT THIS WILL BECOME A MULTI BAGGER JUST LIKE JAI CORP.


BTW, see my posts regarding TCI Finance....

What is the percentage of TCI FInance holding in Amirtlal ventures. This may the key to unlock value....

This is good news.

The 2 bids which RIL lost teaches investors a lesson.

1. RIL will not fitter away shareholders money by making investments in a rash manner.

2. RIL is very safe in visionary Mukesh`s hands.

3. RIL will not be engaged in price war just for the sake to acquire assets....

Thanks. But TCI Finance does not hold any shares in Gati Infra. So how TCI Finance is going to benefit ?...

Both Jai Corp and Satyam will prove to be worth its weight in gold at these rates....

You can get good companies at low rates only when you are two steps ahead of the so-called experts.


A classic case is BEML. When it was at 30 rupees, the so-called experts ignored it. But when it crossed 700 rupees, the so-called experts said BEML is a value buy.


My opinion is that indian liquor market is growing in double digit rates and 70% market is controlled by companies under the control of UB Holdings.


The aviation sector in India is poised for a take off. 24 % of the indian aviation traffic is controlled by Kingfisher Airlines which in turn is controlled by UB Holdings.


Then take a look at Mangalore Chemicals etc.

Form your own opinion. I am a buyer in UBH. I beleive that it is totally undervalued....

Dear pitquote, perhaps you see things with a coloured glass.

How TATA companies work is best explained by the manner in which they tried to squeeze West Bengal govt for the NANO project. Hundreds of crores of govt money at interest free rate for 20 years and thereafter to repay the same in 21 year with just 1 percent interest. This is not including the crores of rupees of sales and commercial tax concessions and land worth hundreds of crores for a penny rate. So much so that in WB Govt cirles, it is said that the decision of TATA to quit was actually a blessing in disguise. TATA was able to arm twist the WB Govt to give fabulous concessions. Mamata will always be regarded as a saviour of West Bengal.

And all this fabulous concessions for a NANO which cannot withstand the safety and other standards for international sales.

We indians only see the external face and decide if a person or product is good or bad.

I am sure that if a deep dig is done, there will not be much to speak proud of infosys.

Tell us what was the wrong done by Reliance Inds or Mukesh. The products manufactured by RIL is better than the world standards and its products can compete with the best in the world....

Question by Swadesh Chakrabortty CPI-M
Whether the government is considering revision of gas price of Reliance Industries as and when the gas is available from KG Basin. Whether RIL has requested the government to raise the gas price at 4.20 dollars per unit; whether Oil and Natural Gas Corporation is supplying gas at a price of 2.2 dollars / unit.


Answer by Dinsha Patel, minister of state in the ministry of petroleum & natural gas
No, sir. No request has been made to the government by RIL to raise the gas price. Under administered price mechanism, gas is being supplied by ONGC to power and fertiliser sectors at Rs 3,200 / thousand standard cubic metres and to transport sector and Court mandated small consumers at Rs 3,840 / mscm. In the North East, the supply to the mentioned categories of consumers is at Rs 1,920/mscm and Rs 2,304/mscm respectively. At US dollar 1= Rs 45, these prices translate to US dollar 1.792/mmbtu, US dollar 2.15 / mmbtu, US dollar 1.076/mmbtu and US dollar 1.20 / mmbtu, respectively. APM price is not comparable with market determined prices under production sharing contract.

SO THE CONCLUSION. THE PSC RATE OF 4.2 DOLLARS WILL BE STRUCK DOWN AS BEING AGAINST THE NATION`S INTEREST. THIS WILL PAVE WAY FOR SUPPLY OF GAS TO RNRL AS PER FAMILY MOU.

This is my personal opinion considering the fact that RIL dropped nearly 6 percent and RNRL gained more than 10 percent yesterday....

Sandeep Ohri, a Mumbai-based chartered accountant, recalls the time -- in 2006 -- when he was looking after his father`s packaging business and talks about his battle with Reliance Energy and other power regulators.

Ohri had a godown for which the electricity bill was normally around Rs 400 a month. In October 2006, he received a bill for Rs 10,800 for the usage of 14 units of power. Overnight, Reliance Energy had changed slab rates. And this was right after the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission had announced its new tariffs.

But Ohri`s was not an isolated case.

The rest of the small scale industries in the area too received bills ranging from several thousands to several hundred thousands of rupees. The aggrieved industrialists complained to Reliance Energy.

They found that depending on their demand, they had been charged for their capacity and not for usage. Reliance Energy`s argument was: `When you have contracted to get `x` amount of supply, we have to give it, whether you use it or not. If you put on all the lights in your house or none at all, the supplier has to have the load ready as electricity cannot be stored. As we had this power ready for you, you have to pay.`

WELL THIS IS HOW ANIL`S COMPANY IS GOING TO MAKE SUPER DUPER PROFITS. One profit by purchasing gas from RIL at below market price and additional profit by charging customers on basis of capacity and not usage...
